CHARACTER: Mitsuhide Akechi

CANON: Samurai Warriors

BLURB:
* 24 years old and once this gentle, kind and idealistic man with a bright future in a certain business field, Mitsuhide is... still gentle, still kind, but rather sad and a little bit broken.
* Why? He got involved in one particular successful business under a boss who seemed destined for great things. Mitsuhide became convinced this boss would do so much good for that world that he threw himself into his role and supported of said boss that he catapulted himself up the ranks into a high position.
* ...sadly, it turned out there were some rather dubious business practices going on. Excusing some at first, eventually it got too much for Mitsuhide as he realised that no, no matter the end goal, what was going on was wrong. So he ended up 'betraying' his boss and trusting co-workers to the law by whistleblowing and testifying against them in court when even more bad stuff got uncovered.
* After this he pretty much got unofficially expelled from the entire field. People might agree his boss was bad, but nobody trusted Mitsuhide afterwards either. So he quietly slipped out of it.
* Nowadays he has a fairly standard job (not decided yet) and is struggling to really push himself out there again.
* That's the only concrete details I've settled. I think he'll be writing poetry on the side and considering trying to publish some, but hasn't quite gotten there yet.
* His mother has definitely passed away, his father... haven't decided but he isn't in regular contact if he is around. Mitsuhide does have a couple of brothers.
* Personality wise he isn't quite as broken and depressed as his canon self, as he has never actually been to war or battle and nobody he knows has died. The strict traditional side of him is more relaxed here too, with his rebellious and strongly moral half being more dominant; the different environment has ensured that.

LOOKING FOR: Anything, to begin with! If anyone wants to be someone who lost their job when Bad Boss was taken down and the company folded that's absolutely a-okay, could be good basis for bad CR (or sympathetic depending on their feelings about the matter). Even one of his close co-workers high-up in the business! More in general he'll need kind and patient friends; he'll be occasionally seen in cafes on his own looking a bit lost, or just quiet.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Pretty settled on Mitsuhide! :D

Oh my god hi

I don't have anything useful to add I just want the awkwardness of remembering the past so bad

It'd be pretty funny if they end up getting along...then just like "oh I guess we knew each other before"

Then

"Oh"

Mitsuhide is such a kind and gentle person that there's a good chance of that, so. 8)b

Then he'll get to struggle with the guilt of it all. As he does.

it's okay she's kind of gained a conscience by virtue of leading a normal, modern era lifestyle so

she might pat his shoulder and be like "nobunaga sounds super fucked up so i guess i can't blame you" instead of justifying everything she did the way her OU self would

That will be an experience alright. Especially when he has full memory back and he can ??? at the fact she even exists in comparison to the Oda Nobunaga he knew.

Being told 'oh yeah can't blame you' will probably blow his mind too, which is excellent.

His full name will be Jūbei Nankōbō (Western order), and will have come to the city having moved here after his expulsion from his business field and conviction of his former boss.
